If every first-time college parent could sit at the feet of Paul and Julie Hinds of Portland, Oregon, they’d get a calming perspective in the midst of the frantic season of applications, scholarships amounts, interest rates, deadlines, campus visits and separation anxiety. With six daughters, they’ve been there, done that.

Cree Hammond was a single mom. Her daughter, Skye, wasn’t even thinking about Oklahoma Christian as a potential college choice. Then Skye visited OC’s campus. A cost-benefit analysis convinced Cree that this was the place for her daughter.

Occasionally, more than one child will graduate from OC together. Even more rare is what happened to the Brotherton family. Sisters Amanda and Jenny were joined by their mother, Elesa, as all three graduated with honors on the same day.
